Art Facilities

Carnegie Hall, a Beaux-Arts structure built in 1907 as the college library, now houses
the Juniata College Museum of Art as well as a number of studio facilities for visual
arts classes.

The Museum

Edwin A. and Susan Rabinowitz Malloy Gallery houses a display of works from the museum's
permanent collection, including works from the Hudson River School, American portrait
miniatures and Old Master paintings and prints.

Henry and Mabelle Shoemaker Gallery hosts four temporary exhibitions each year, including
a spring show of works produced by students in the studio courses.

The Drawing Room

The Painting StudioOur current painting studio is located in a beautiful historic Carnegie building.
The studio space is equipped with easels and individual storage units. Large windows
provide natural light, and students can venture freely from the studio space to the
remaining museum wings to experience original works of art.

The Photography DarkroomOur traditional photography darkroom is equipped with 10 Beseler enlargers, two large
sinks, and a film processing room. This unique darkroom space allows students to learn
the art of traditional black and white film based photography.

The 3-D Studio

Ceramics Studio

Juniata's Ceramics Studio, available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, has: 6 kick wheels,
11 electric wheels, a slab roller, and all the necessary clay and glaze mixing equipment.
Our kilns include: 1 gas kiln, 2 electric kilns, 1 test-size electric kiln, 1 soda
kiln, and an anagama kiln. The Anagama kiln is one of 3 in Pennsylvania. It is a wood
fire kiln, meaning that all of the heat comes from wood not gas or electricity. Also,
the glaze is created by melting ash due to an ultimate temperature of over 1200 degrees.
The ceramic students at Juniata fire it off about once a semester. The process requires
the students to fire it for 5 days straight, with students taking 3 hour shifts so
that it is manned 24 hours a day. For those who love clay, there is no other experience
like it in the world.

Peace Chapel

The Peace Chapel is a landscape architectural site designed in 1988 by architect Maya
Lin. It is located on the 315-acre Baker-Henry Nature preserve and provides a contemplative
setting within the rolling hills of Huntingdon County.

Good Hall

Art History classrooms with tiered seats, dimmable lights, slide projectors and an
overhead projector/computer for digital presentations are housed in Good Hall.
